Ah, the nine-year-old. With one foot firmly in childhood, and the other tiptoeing into early adulthood, a child of this age is brilliant fun to buy for. Mostly because they’re still little, even if some days they think they’re not.
The average nine-year-old will still love a well-chosen plush toy to snuggle, for example, and will relish the chance to get their hands dirty with arts and crafts. Developmentally, nine-year-olds can master complex activities like science experiments and STEM learning sets and will often be able to follow instructions independently if you choose a gift that’s right for their age.
